Answer:

Before her donation, Marie owned 35 comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marie donated 40% of her comic books to a school, that is, Marie donated 40 comic books per 100 comic books she owned. We can write it as a ratio: the ratio of donated comic books to total comic books is 100:40. If she donated 14 comic books, the number of comic books she owned before her donation were:

14 donated cb × (100 total cb/40 donated cb) = 35 total cb

Sam bought an electric iron as a price of 25 less than the original price if the original price of it is $2500 at what price did
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

$2475  or $1875

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the question meant to say $25 less than the original price, it would be $2475 because $2500-$25= $2475

However, if the question meant to say that Sam bought the iron for 25% less than the original price, it would be $1875 because 2500*0.25= $625

$2500-$625= $1875

A committee of 15 members is voting on a proposal. Each member casts a yea or nay vote. On a random voting basis, what is the pr
Igoryamba

Answer:

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they vote yes, or they vote no. The probability of a person voting yes or no is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Random voting:

So 50% of voting yes, 50% no, so p = 0.5

15 members:

This means that n = 15

What is the probability that the final vote count is unanimous?

Either all vote no(P(X = 0)) or all vote yes(P(X = 15)). So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.00003

P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.00003

So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15) = 0.00003 + 0.00003 = 0.00006

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.
